In this text I am going to analyze what I consider the main points of the film “Only You”, directed by Hakan Yonat in 2014.

Starting from an attentive analysis of the title, a clever watcher may immediately recognize the main topic of the projection, which is supposed to be love. “Only you” is a sentence frequently used in interpersonal relationships, for example: “I promise to love only you”, or “only you truly know me” and it is often associated to strong feelings and moments of happiness, common characteristics of couples' lives.

The film is divided in several parts through the actions of the main characters that correspond to the most important moments. The first macro-section might end when Ali comes to save Hazal from her boss's harass: this scene represents the results of their relationship, but also shows more about Ali's inability to control his anger. During this screen-time, film director introduces the characters through their main traits: for example Ali is shown as a hard worker, but also as a sad person, who lives in a very poor economical conditions, while Hazal is presented as a very much happier person, even if her economical and physical condition is tough. These aspects of the protagonists are supposed to make the watcher think about a very important and current question, which is: in life, who is actually a disable? Is it who really has a disability or is it who can't enjoy life?

The contrast between their personalities gradually dissolves as they know better each other and get used to their life-style, but at the same time makes them the perfect couple, as opposites attract each other.

The second part begins when Hazal accepts to get helped by Ali, and it ends when he discovers he was the responsible for her blindness: during the time the two main characters share, the watcher can see how their bond has grown and the faith they pone in each other. The care he shows toward ìs her can be seen in simple but deep gestures, such as restructuring the house to make it safer and giving her a dog (golden retrievers are very good helper to blind people).

The third part is the one where Ali convinces Hazal to get operated to heal his sense of guilt towards her; while he fights to death to seal the debt he incur into, she undergoes the eyes operation, the contrast created by the film director conveys to the watcher the idea that Ali's doing the right thing: he fights for the lives he destroyed.

The last part of the film is opened by the scene where Hazal won't open her eyes if not to see Ali first, this scene only fully shows how their relationship has grown fast and strong in so little time. Other very important moments here are their meeting at the hospital and when Simal recognizes Ali: all these scenes are meant by the film director to convey the idea that love has no barriers, not even disabilities; this is clearly shown by several details such as dog's joy in seeing again his owner (you must remember that dogs are very faithful and loyal animals and they never forget their owner's smell) and the massage she gives him in the hospital clearly reminds the watcher of their happy times (and also, since she was blind, her sense of touch became more acute and she must have recognized a familiar feeling at the time).

The use of colours in the scenes perfectly catches the idea of what that particular scene is supposed to mean: for example, in the scene set by the lake, bright colours represent strong feelings and happiness, while, during the fight scene, the most important colours are gray, black and red as they have to represent a tough moment in the Ali's story arc, these colours of course stand for blood and monotony.

The choice of language made by the director suggests the idea this could be a real story, indeed, characters use a simple way of communication, with common words and not too-researched forms but also some characters speak very a little; this all conveys the watcher a sense of reality.
